- Discovery and development of substituted tyrosine derivatives as Bcl-2/Mcl-1 inhibitors
-
Anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 family proteins are vital for cancer cells to escape apoptosis, which make them attractive targets for cancer therapy. Recently, a lead compound 1 was found to modestly inhibit the binding of BH3 peptide to Bcl-2 protein with a Ki value of 5.2 μM. Based on this, a series of substituted tyrosine derivatives were developed and tested for their binding affinities to Bcl-2 protein. Results indicated that these compounds exhibited potent binding affinities to Bcl-2 and Mcl-1 protein but not to Bcl-XL protein. Promisingly, compound 6i inhibited the binding of BH3 peptide to Bcl-2 and Mcl-1 protein with a Ki value of 450 and 190 nM respectively, and showed obvious anti-proliferative activities against tested cancer cells.

- Mn(II) Complex of Lipophilic Group-Modified Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA) as a New Hepatobiliary MRI Contrast Agent
-
Liver-specific contrast agents (CAs) can improve the Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) detection of focal and diffuse liver lesions by increasing the lesion-to-liver contrast. A novel Mn(II) complex, Mn-BnO-TyrEDTA, with a lipophilic group-modified ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) structure as a ligand to regulate its behavior in vivo, is superior to Gd-EOB-DTPA in terms of a liver-specific MRI contrast agent. An MRI study on mice demonstrated that Mn-BnO-TyrEDTA can be rapidly taken up by hepatocytes with a combination of hepatobiliary and renal clearance pathways. Bromosulfophthalein (BSP) inhibition imaging, biodistribution, and cellular uptake studies confirmed that the mechanism of hepatic targeting of Mn-BnO-TyrEDTA is the hepatic uptake of the amphiphilic anion contrast agent mediated by organic anion transporting polypeptides (OATPs) expressed by functional hepatocytes.

- Design, synthesis and preliminary bioactivity studies of indomethacin derivatives as Bcl-2/Mcl-1 dual inhibitors
-
Bcl-2 family proteins, which divides into pro-apoptosis proteins and anti-apoptosis proteins, are involved in cell apoptosis progression. As numerous studies illustrated, targeting Bcl-2 family proteins is more and more attractive and practicable to cancer treatment. In this work, we designed and synthesized a series of indomethacin derivatives as new inhibitors for Bcl-2 family proteins. Our results of binding assay to Bcl-2 proteins, MTT assay and apoptotic assay indicated that some compounds had potent binding affinity to Bcl-2/Mcl-1 but not Bcl-XL. Furthermore, compound 8j showed improved anti-proliferative activity than known Bcl-2 inhibitor WL-276.

- Total Synthesis of (?)-Spiroleucettadine
-
One of a number of intriguing new alkaloids isolated from the Leucetta sp. sponge in 2004, spiroleucettadine displayed unique structural features on a restricted scaffold: a trans-fused 5,5-bicyclic ring system together with an amino hemiketal moiety. Attempts to synthesize the initially proposed structure failed, raising questions as to its veracity, and structure revision ensued in 2008; no successful synthetic approach has been reported to date. Herein, we describe the enantiospecific total synthesis of (?)-spiroleucettadine by a highly efficient biomimetic approach starting from l-tyrosine. One of two key hypervalent-iodine-mediated oxidation reactions forged the spirocyclic center, and the other enabled the installation of the methylamine side chain in the penultimate step. Our approach provides synthetic access to a new class of spiroannulated natural products and will enable future studies of the structure–biological-activity relationships of these antibacterial compounds.

- Improved binding affinities of pyrrolidine derivatives as Mcl-1 inhibitors by modifying amino acid side chains
-
As an important member of anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 protein, myeloid cell leukemia sequence 1 (Mcl-1) protein is an attractive target for cancer therapy. In this study, a new series of pyrrolidine derivatives as Mcl-1 inhibitors were developed by mainly modifying the amino acid side chain of compound 1. Among them, compound 18 (Ki= 0.077 μM) exhibited better potent inhibitory activities towards Mcl-1 protein compared to positive control Gossypol (Ki= 0.18 μM). In addition, compound 40 possessed good antiproliferative activities against PC-3 cells (Ki= 8.45 μM), which was the same as positive control Gossypol (Ki= 7.54 μM).

- Design, synthesis, and in vitro and biological evaluation of potent amino acid-derived thiol inhibitors of the metallo-β-lactamase IMP-1
-
There are currently no clinically available inhibitors of metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs). These enzymes confer resistance to bacteria against a broad range of commonly used β-lactam antibiotics, and are produced by an increasing number of bacterial pathogens. In this study, several thiol derivatives of l-amino acids were designed and synthesized, and their inhibitory effects against the metallo-β-lactamase IMP-1 (subclass B1) were investigated. The most potent compound, derived from l-tyrosine, exhibited competitive inhibition, with a Ki of 86 nM. The ability of this compound to render MBL-expressing bacteria susceptible to imipenem was examined. Reductions in MIC values up to 5.2 - fold were observed.

- Structure and absolute configuration of auriculamide, a natural product from the predatory bacterium herpetosiphon aurantiacus
-
The genome of the filamentous, predatory bacterium Herpetosiphon aurantiacus harbors a plethora of genes that are predicted to be involved in natural product biosynthesis. Until now, however, no secondary metabolites have been described from this microorganism. Analysis of H. aurantiacus culture extracts by 1H NMR spectroscopy now led to the discovery of a chlorinated amide, which we termed auriculamide. The configuration of the three chiral centers in auriculamide was solved by chromatographic comparison with stereospecifically prepared reference compounds following chemical degradation. Furthermore, a putative gene cluster for the biosynthesis of auriculamide was identified by genome mining. Chemical analysis of culture extracts from the predatory bacterium Herpetosiphon aurantiacus led to the discovery of the new natural product auriculamide, the structure of which was elucidated by MS and NMR analyses. The absolute configuration was determined, after hydrolysis, by chromatographic comparison with synthetic standards. A gene cluster for the biosynthesis of auriculamide is proposed.

- Synthesis of a proposed antigenic hexapeptide from Escherichia coli K88 protein fimbriae.
-
The hexapeptide Boc-Asp-Asp-Tyr-Arg-Gln-Lys-OMe is assembled by stepwise synthesis in solution with an overall yield of 44%. N alpha-boc-amino acids, protected with benzyl or benzyloxycarbonyl groups in the side-chains, are coupled as active estes of 1-hydroxybenzotriazole in mixtures of dichloromethane and N,N-dimethylformamide. N alpha-deprotection is accomplished with trifluoroacetic acid. Finally, hydrogenation with palladium on charcoal and ammonium formate produces the pure hexapeptide. A new one-pot synthesis of Boc-Arg(Z2) is described, and the use of this derivative in peptide coupling is studied. The synthetic peptide was coupled to BSA and used in direct immunication of rabbits.

- Synthesis of a putative antigenic heptapeptide from Escherichia coli K88 ab protein fimbriae.
-
The heptapeptide Tyr-Arg-Glu-Asp-Met-Glu-Tyr-OMe, spanning region 213-219 of Escherichia coli K88 ab protein fimbriae, was synthesized with an overall yield of 37% using dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) and 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (HOBt) preactivation in all condensation reactions. The C-terminal was protected as the methyl ester. The protection scheme of N alpha-tert-butyloxycarbonyl-(Boc) and benzyl-(Bzl) or benzyloxycarbonyl (Z) groups for side chain protection was found to be orthogonal when a mixture of trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), phenol (PhOH) and p-cresol (CrOH) was used for repetitive deprotection. The final deprotection of Boc-Tyr(Bzl)-Arg(Z2)-Glu(Bzl)-Asp(Bzl)-Met-Glu(Bzl+ ++)-Tyr(Bzl)-OMe (17) was accomplished in 80% yield by prolonged treatment with hydrogen fluoride, dimethyl sulfide, p-cresol and p-thiocresol. The BSA-linked synthetic peptide was used in immunisation experiments on rabbits.
